The world’s premiere operator of authentic French open-air markets kicks off its new season next week as the White Plains Farmers Market opens at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, April 25. 

Located on Court Street between Main Street and Martine Avenue, the White Plains Farmers Market is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. every Wednesday through Nov. 21.

In keeping with the tradition of open-air markets in Europe, patrons of the White Plains Farmers Market can expect to find everything from meats, to produce, artisan cheeses and olive oil.

Vendors include: Arch River Farms, Rolling Hills Farms, Westchester Greenhouse, S&SO Produce, Iron Tomato and Meredith Bread to name just a few.

Whether you’re picking up a healthy lunch or buying local, fresh ingredients to take home for dinner, the White Plains Farmers Market is the go-to place for the best seasonal ingredients. 

Public markets are synonymous with French culture and style, as expressed through the sale of fresh, locally grown produce, seasonal flowers, boutique clothing and jewelry and original arts and crafts.

Bensidoun USA’s French Markets are a direct descendent of this rich and beloved tradition. Bensidoun opened its first market nearly 60 years ago outside of the City of Lights, expanding to White Plains in 2004.

Today, the Bensidoun’s operate more than 90 markets in the Chicagoland area, New York, Michigan, Connecticut and France including the markets in Paris. 

“What really makes our French Markets unique is the support of the local communities where we operate,” said Sebastien Bensidoun, executive vice-president for Bensidoun USA.

“Over the years, we’ve seen businesses grow and flourish in an often challenging economy. The Bensidoun family is truly devoted to supporting local small businesses and creating meaningful relationships within the communities it serves. Many of our vendor and customer relationships go back 15 years to the very beginning of our US efforts.” 

Be sure to watch for the opening of the Stamford, CT and West Harrison markets in June.
